In order to perform UV (ultraviolet light) observation, you need a camera that is sensitive to UV and a lens that is UV-compatible.
Our cameras are mainly intended for visible light observation and are not sensitive in the ultraviolet region.
As shown below, there is no sensitivity in the ultraviolet region.
UV observation can be broadly divided into two types.
（１） When observing scratches, stains, unevenness, etc. on the surface of an object
（２）When observing the faint fluorescence phenomenon of an object
When choosing a camera, you should focus on one of these uses.
(1) When using a camera sensitive to ultraviolet rays
(2) In order to capture not only ultraviolet light but also weak fluorescence phenomena, a cooled CCD camera is generally used.
Also, the lenses must be UV compatible.
(The following is an example of a zoom lens made by Navitar in the US.)
